Peter Edel was born in 1959 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. In 1984 he graduated from the Rietveld Academy, having studied for five years in their photographic design department. Since then he has successfully pursued a career as photo-designer and visual artist. His work has been widely exhibited in galleries, as well as published in numerous periodicals.

Digital technology has had a profound impact on Peter Edel’s art, vastly broadening his photographic reach. No longer restricted by the limits of ordinary visual perception (as was the case with analog photography), he can now allow himself the freedom to occasionally express reality in ways that are far beyond what the eye can see, what the camera lens is able to capture.
